My introduction to Fast Forward 2,
"The Age of Accelerating Returns," has just gone up on SFSignal this morning.I don't know if anyone actually reads introductions, but I'm pretty proud of this one, as it says a lot of what I have to say about science fiction in general.

I am picking up my copy this afternoon (woo hoo!), so I think I will wait on reading the introduction* until I can then jump right into the stories.
*I always read introductions, and usually at the beginning. The exception is when the introduction assumes the reader is familiar with the work; then I read it as an afterword.
I will be anxious for your opinion. And am glad you read from the beginning - I slave over the order, as I know other anthologists do - and suspect most people read around...
I too read through anthos in order. I should be receiving a (review) copy of FF2 soon; can't wait to delve in.
Nice work in the Intro. I'm consistently fascinated by how so many opinions expressed by Isaac Asimov in his non-fiction were so far ahead of his time. He truly saw into the future -- our now -- and beyond.
Yup. It's easy to make fun of his prose these days (I admit to doing it), but he really was a genius.
